RESOURCES FOR YOU AND YOUR PET

Cat aficionados appreciate the independent nature of their favorite feline friends. It is their innate drive to take care of themselves that causes them to require less maintenance than some other household pets. Pet parents know that their cat's bare necessities consist of a bit of love and affection, food, water, a few toys, and some incredibly efficient kitty litter. Whether the preference is for flushable cat litter or clumping cat litter, proud cat owners do what they can to ensure a comfortable and secure area for their cats to relieve themselves and relax. These days, there's a wide array of kitty litter available, which is a definite help to cat owners. Of the features and benefits offered, there is the option of scented or unscented, as well as the ease of waste disposal from clumping cat litter, as well as flushable cat litter that is septic safe.

From crystals and granules to pellets and crumbled minerals, kitty litter comes in an array of types including corn, paper, clay, pine and silica. This innovation provides cat owners with hassle-free maintenance of their cat's litter box. Clumping cat litter effectively transforms waste into solid, dust-free clumps that decreases the frequency for the litter box to be changed. When used in conjunction with liners, litter scoops and waste bags, clumping cat litter makes the task of waste disposal simple and practically trouble-free. Meanwhile, deodorizers and filters specially formulated to work with a variety of litter boxes aid in odor control and elimination. A big hit with cat owners who prefer to flush cat waste is the flushable cat litter. Most of these formulas are biodegradable, proven safe for septic tanks, and dust-free.

For homes with multiple cats, there are kitty litter formulas with fast-acting ingredients that absorb waste and eliminate odors instantly. There are also training discs that aid in the individual potty training needs for each cat, as well as litter box carpets that prevent tracking. In addition to the features of a super-absorbing and dust-free formula, there are also types that are made from all natural ingredients that are recyclable, biodegradable or even washable. Whether your preference is for an all-natural flushable cat litter, a fast-acting clumping cat litter with baking-soda, or one that does both, keep your home and litter box clean, fresh and odor-free with the kitty litter that's right for you and your cat.
